Crossing Borders provides a framework built upon an understanding of the many borders that define the international system. Renowned authors Harry I. Chernotsky and Heidi H. Hobbs address many of the different fields that constitute international studies—geography, politics, economics, sociology, and anthropology—and give instructors a starting point from which they can pursue their own disciplinary interests. By integrating research and current examples, the Third Edition encourages you to identify your role in today’s international arena and what it means to be a global citizen. Not only do you develop a better understanding of the world, you also receive advice on how to increase your own global engagement through study abroad, internships, and career options.

 

This Third Edition is thoroughly updated to reflect recent events and trends, including cyberterrorism, the rise of ISIS, and other key issues. It offers new color maps and clear learning objectives for every chapter, giving students a solid understanding of the complexity of the issues facing the world today.

Recenzijas

Crossing Borders is a very user-friendly text that is full of pressing global issues and current 21st century events highlighting the discipline of International Studies and key issues and challenges in the global arena from multiple perspectives.  It highlights the relationship of history to the modern, global political economy and international relations therein. Further, this textbook pushes students to engage with the material and understand their position within this world calling for their pursuit of becoming a global citizen. -- Lesley Daspit Crossing Borders is the best textbook available for International Studies courses.  It tackles complex global issues from a multidisciplinary perspective, doing so in a way that is both accessible and engaging for students.  Most importantly, students come away with an understanding of how those issues impact their day-to-day lives, as well as how they can participate in the increasingly interconnected world around them as global citizens. -- Michael Makara Crossing Borders provides students with a wide area of coverage on different contemporary global problems, promotes critical thinking, and offers various perspectives to consider. I would recommend to faculty in political science especially the ones teaching global issues.  Its strengths include the wide area of coverage, writing style, and engaging features for students.  -- Pajo Bora
